    Abstract

    This multi-year action research study evaluated the effectiveness of a real-life, team based software development project at preparing software engineering students for the workplace. Graduates were surveyed to determine how useful the experience had been, and to find common gaps in their skill sets. The learning environment was adapted to address identified skill gaps. Results show the real-life, team based project experience does help bridge the gap between the academic world and industry practice.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
